Sensation Throughout France.
PARIS, April 2l-M. Schnabele, special
Ere nch commissary at the Pagny sur Moselle
depot. has been arrested by Germans, He had
received several letters from the German police
commissioner at Ars, asking him to come to that
place and confer with him regarding the frontier
service. He finally agreed to do so. While on
his way to Ars he was roughly seized by the
German police and taken to Noveant, from
whi en- place he was sent to Metz.
The Metzer Zeitung says NJ. Schnabele's arrest
is due to his connection with the nti-German
agitation conducted by the Patriots: League; but
the people of Pagny-snr- -Mosele declare this to
be entirely untrue and say that he had nothing
to do with the agitation. The incident has
THROWN the inhabitants of Metz and Nancy into
the widest state of excitement.
Rentes were unfavorably affected by the ar
rest of NJ Schnabee. The market for 8 per
cent. rentes for the account became fiat, and the
quotations declined & centimes during the
afternoon, closing at the lowest price.
The arrest has produced profound sensation,
and it is feared may lead TO unfortunate results.
Ls Paris calls it another provocation." and
asks if Bismarck is seeking casus belli. The
Germans requested Schnabele to set up one of
the pests which mark the frantier line The COM
misstry crossed the boundary and advanced
a few yards on German soil, when he was seized
by German police agents. who were disguised In
gray blouses. He Knocked the agents down and
escaped back to French territory. bur he was
again seized. handcuffed and sent to Metz where
he was placed IN the prison in which accused
persons are confined before trial. The warrant
for the arrest emanated from the public prose-
cutor at Metz, who acted under instructions from
Strasburg. The French procurator at Nancy
has gone to Parny to inquire into the affair.
Most of the Paris vening papers mako no

Earl Cadogan Moves Second Reading of His
Land Bill-Gladstones Hope.
LONDON. April 21.-In the House of Lords to-
day, Earl Ca6ogan moved the second reading of
the Irish land bill.
Baron Denman moved the rejection Of the bill,
which, he said, was likely to hurry landlords
and tenants into litigation.
Earl Spencer said he hoped Lord Denman
would not press division his motion. The
land question must be settled before Ireland
would become peaceful The interference with
rsAts was unavoidable. The action of the courts
justified interference on behalf of tenants to
lower judicial rents, which were too high in
view of the fall in prices He condemned
rate remissions which. he said would lead to dis
putes and impose An additional burden upon dis
tricts now almost bankrupt. He also condemned
the powers given TO county courts in cases of
bankruptcy of poor tenants He declared that
the bankruptcy clauses of the bill would utterly
demoraiiZe the Irish people.
Lord Ashbourne said that the bill, if passed,
would prove a great check to evictions The
details of the bills, he said, could easily be
amended in committee.
Lord Ashbourne asked the government to give
their full attention to the criticisms and sugges
tions that had been made regarding the bank
ruptcy clauses of the bill.
The Earl of Kilmorey described the bill as ''a
rod in pickle" for the landlords own backs.
the Marquis of Ripon thought the House was
entitled to know definitely whether the govern
ment intended to stand by the principles of the
BILL whether it could be wholly altered in
committee
Earl Cadogan replied that if he believed the
bill to be an imposture or illusion, as Mr. Glad
stone seemed to suggest. he would have taken no
part in it.
Mr.. Gladstone writes that he does not desire a
general election to Parliament until the English
mind is as ripe on the Irish question the Welsh
and Scotch minds arc, but that time is rapidly
advancing. anyhow" he says, Il ALI prepared
to face anything to defeat coercion. / continue

Ofthe women of New Orleans, too
much cannot be said in praise of their
Wlce charities. It is said.
New Orleans can point with pride to
what has b Ell done by the ladies in the
promotion and support of benevolence
and utility. The record that has been
made within even a few years past, is
truly noble. We are inclined to think
that it would be no easy matter to match
1t. However that may be, it is a golden
record for our city, and we trust that it
may be the herald of a golden age.
We may safely date the movement
with the establishment, by the Protes-
tant ladies, of the Christian Woman's
Exchange, few years ago. The
amount of good done in various WAYS bv
this excellent institution, would scarcely
be possible to estimate. DESPITE the
torebodlngs Of some, it has become more
SolldIy established from year to year,
and may be regarded as a permanent
success.
Soon after, other ladies established the
Southern Art Union, which after con-
trlDutlng much to public utilitv. has baan
suspended.
Since that there has been established
the Conference Of Charities, also under

interesting. This church, which is one
of the handsomest in the southwest, has
been the source of interest to members
of that congregation for years, and it is
due to their untiring efforts that the
church is finally completed.
The memorial windows are perhaps
